The necessity for the United Nations Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) arose from a crisis in relations between the island's Greek and Turkish communities precipitated by an attempt on the part of President Makarios in November 1963 to adjust the 1960 Constitution in such a way as to lessen the influence of the Turkish minority within the state's institutions. An early unsuccessful attempt at mediation by Britain in the first weeks of 1964 (which aimed at a solution within the context of Nato) gave way to Security Council consideration at a series of meetings in February and March which resulted in a motion to dispatch a peacekeeping force.

Die Erfahrungen mit dem Einsatz der United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) von März 1978 bis Juni 1982 werden ausgewertet im Hinblick auf die Frage, welche Art von Friedenstruppe den libanesischen Interessen (Wiedererlangen staatlicher Autorität) am stärksten dient, und ob die USA ihren Einfluss und evtl. eigene Truppen für erweiterte Friedensoperationen einsetzen sollten.

WITH MOVES OF ISRAELI ARMED FORCES INTO LEBANON, VIETNAMESE FORCES INTO KAMPUCHEA, SOUTH AFRICAN FORCES INTO ANGOLA, SOVIET FORCES, AND WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AMERICAN RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCES AND OF "PEACEKEEPING" COCNTINGENTS FOR VARIOUS TROUBLE-SPOTS, THE WORLD STILL CLEARLY IS PRONE TO FREQUENT MILITARY INTERVENTION. PREVIOUS ANALYSES GENERALLY HAVE DEALTH WITH THE LEGALITY OR CAUSATION OF VARIOUS TYPES OF INTERVENTION ON A GLOBAL BASIS, OR WITH ONE COUNTRY'S INTERVENTIONIST POLICIES.1 LITTLE ATTENTION HAS BEEN PAID TO REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE. THIS STUDY IS A STEP TOWARD COMPARATIVE ANALYSES OF REGIONAL INTERVENTION PATTERNS; IN IT THE INTERPLAY OF SUPERPOWER AND LOCAL REGION, AND CHANGES IN THESE CHARACTERISTICS CAN BE COMPARED INTER-REGIIONALLY.
